G. E. ELECTRIC MIXER

AGE 5 BROOKLYN

G. E. Electric Mixer, 5, of the Flatbush Section of Brooklyn, passed away suddenly Friday, February 19, in the middle of creaming the butter and sugar. G.E. was purchased by Rodney Snell (on sale) in 2005 at Value City, Ocean, NJ. He mixed in Long Branch before relocating to Maryland in 2006. He spent several months in storage before settling in Brooklyn two years ago.

Mixer’s work was known all over the world, especially Petunia’s Pound and Rutha’s Red Velvet Cakes. He was a treasured companion on long vacations and weekend trips. He traveled to Mount Vernon, GA; Brothers Weekend 2005 in Deep Creek, MD and most recently Jersey City, ruining diets, expanding waistlines and sending folks into diabetic coma.

In addition to 8 oz. of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, 6 eggs, and 3 cups of flour, left to mourn its passing, but cherish the memories are his devoted owner, Rodney Snell of the home; and beloved admirers all over the country, including Crofton Whitfield and Michael Golden.

The remains will lie in state on the kitchen counter until the Home Going service on Sunday, February 21, 2010. Interment will immediately follow in the trash bin behind the building. In lieu of flowers, please send donations or a KitchenAid 600 to Rodney Snell, 2608 Albemarle Rd, Apt D1, Brooklyn, NY 11226 if you ever want to enjoy another slice of cake.

Arrangements are entrusted to the New York City Department of Sanitation.
